"The Ace of Swords"

Last month, I learned the bass and string parts (or at least one of the string parts) for the introduction in "The Ace of Swords," so I added them to the harpsichord and oboe parts I already knew.  Of course, after I recorded this, I realized that I played the string part an octave too low.  There's still a clavinet part I have to learn, so once I get that, I'll update this again and try to remember to put the string part in the correct octave.

Instead of trying to match the original recording, I just set up a click track and played the parts to that, which is why my recording doesn't have the ritardando at the end.

"The Eagle Will Rise Again"

Back in March, I figured out the ascending, arpeggiated keyboard part in "The Eagle Will Rise Again" (I'm still not exactly sure what instrument it's played on, but I think it's virginal).  I've been slowly writing out the notation for it (doing it piecemeal), and I recently remembered that (back in June) I figured out the high violin part in the fourth verse.  I haven't been recording examples unless I know at least two parts, and here I've had two parts for "The Eagle Will Rise Again" for a few months.

My recording is the third verse (just the keyboard part) and the fourth verse (the keyboard part and the violin part).  The closest I could get to virginal was the harpsichord setting on my keyboard, and I used the violin setting for the violin part, which is why I don't have the glissandi between some notes.
